Wow damn, the cat god interpreted Youta-kun’s wish a bit too literally there…. guess this is Yokodera living up to his “Prince” moniker?

Damn, this episode is really hard on the tear ducts ;_;

Haha, that kigurumi’s still around!

Ahhh, does this count as a confession?

Yeah I think this sure does.

Sealed with a kiss too :3

Annnd right after that…..

Goddamnit Yokoderaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Also why the hell is Fukubuchou tagging along?

Oh okay, she’s stalking Tsukushi.

Uh oh….

Sigh…. you perverted prince.

Ending with Tsukiko chiding Yokodera, “hentai-san desu ne”…. is there anything more appropriate than this?

Ooops, forgot the eyecatch. The cast all assembled for this one, so many funny details too www

Heh, that non-ending end. At least we got the amnesia parts cleared up, along with the question of “Who did Yokodera meet earlier in the past?”. Definitely Tsukiko, I guess?

Henneko is one of those weird shows that shouldn’t actually be praised or even be paid this much attention to, but somehow I couldn’t help myself from slowly doing it after falling in love with the show.

I’ll readily admit that the story (or actually the random making up of stuff that constitutes a “story”) of Henneko was really weak and at parts really detracted from the show’s strengths, which I thought was the humor, cute, fanservice and character development. Yes, this is a show where cute girls fanservice is the main selling point. Don’t say I didn’t tell you otherwise.

Along the way, Henneko really made me connect with our main couple, with a number of strong episodes focusing on developing Tsukiko and Yokodera’s interactions with her. In fact, the episodes that wasn’t “Tsukiko’s” were really quite terrible in my opinion. Feels really obvious the show is just tossing those parts in just to keep in line with the original light novel. Still I’ll gladly admit I enjoyed most of them.

While I won’t say Henneko is a great show, I definitely had my fun with this show, no thanks to Tsukiko and Ogura Yui’s amazing performance with her. Yes, doing deadpan voices doesn’t sound like much, but that’s the amazing part about it! The anime really did a great job with her “inability to express herself” by adding in those non-verbal cues and actions for Tsukiko that really worked well with Ogura Yui’s performance of her. Truly made her cute points shoot up to the max. HNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHH…

HenNeko is one of the best cast series ever. Every voice fit each role to the T. Tsukiko’s pained yet deadpan exclamations in a few episodes just took the cake.

This is one of the few series that could get me laughing my head off, in the same episode I feel bad for a character.

If we were rating on “adaptation quality”, this easily has to be one of the best ever. They took a crazy source and did a completely masterful job with the series. I will rewatch this one as some point, if for the voice work alone.

Hayate Said,

i think acting surprised but still in a deadpan voice is really a hard thing to do.
i recognized a lot of seiyuu but not many makes me remember their names as soon as i hear their voices(currently Tomokazu Sugita, Kugimiya Rie, Hanazawa Kana, Norio Wakamoto, Ono Daisuke, Kamiya Hiroshi, Arai Satomi) but i guess this one makes me remember her voices and names from now on.

Gonna miss this show, but not really want a second season

Yokodera wants to play stripstrippy with loli-Tsukushi.
And one of my favourites:

Repeat after me if you can: “I didn’t think the moments with Azuki Azusa or Emi should have been put in at all because they added little to the plot as a whole” http://i.imgur.com/LAyarDF.jpg

I’m still rooting for Azuki Azusa like a St. Benard in a snowstorm. (I will miss the animal puns greatly. While I’m at it, since its the last episode, have a collection of them. http://imgur.com/a/HRAdG )

“I didn’t think the moments with Azuki Azusa or Emi could be that cute and make me go HHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG in an infinite loop!” :D

Let’s not forget the singing like a Rafflesia and stupid pumpkins. The show didn’t have enough Emi especially the fact that she is a terror. Literally can blackmail. Completely, absolutely, positively, absotively not an angel that people think on first impression. More like a devil.

I am also glad I picked the rori (version) just because the name sounds awesome.
